DARROW: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. If I can direct the Planning Commission’s attention to the presentation on the wall. The applicant in this next case is Kona Heights LLC. Just for reference, this is again in the North Kona District, more specifically we’re looking at Alii Drive on the left side of the map running in a north-south direction. The thick white line running through the top, to the bottom of the map is the proposed Kahaluu to Keauhou Parkway or also known as the Alii Highway. The project location is identified with a black outline. Just for reference we have the Keauhou View Estates as well as the White Sands Beach Estates right in this area; and we have the Alii Heights Subdivision in this area near the proposed location. Again, we have the colors of the map representing the zoning of the area, the County zoning. The yellow represents RS-7.5 zoning. The light brown represents Single-Family Residential 15,000 square feet. Currently the property is identified in green which identifies it as Agricultural-5 acres. This next shot brings it in a little closer. Again, we can see the surrounding subdivisions in the area, Keauhou View Estates and White Sands Beach Estates and the Alii Heights up on the upper side. The General Plan for this area shows Low Density Urban on the fringe of the Urban Expansion Area. The Low Density Urban is identified with yellow, the hatched area is identified as the Urban Expansion area. The site plan submitted by the applicants, what I’ll do is I’m going to go forward and come back to that. This is an aerial photo of the location of the map. Again, we see the surrounding subdivisions that have been built out. The area of the applicant is identified in this particular area. We have the proposed Kahaluu to Keauhou Parkway in this location and we have Alii Drive running in the north-south direction. Kona Heights LLC is requesting a State Land Use Boundary Amendment for approximately 11.054 acres from Agricultural to Urban, to the Urban District. They’re also requesting a change of zone for the eleven acres, approximately eleven-acre area from Agricultural-5 acres to Single Family 7,500 square feet or RS 7.5. Lastly, they are requesting a Special Management Area Use Permit as this property is located within the Special Management Area. This is to allow the development of a 65-lot Single Family Residential subdivision and related improvements. I’m going back to the applicant’s submitted site plan. This is a proposed layout. On the left portion of the map we have Naniloa Street which will be the proposed access to this possible, one of the proposed accesses into the subdivision. Additionally, we have two connector roads that would be connecting to any development that occurs to the south. These are identified with the two arrows coming out from the bottom portion of the map. Lastly, there is a proposed mauka-makai street that may connect through the property to the west that is currently undeveloped at this time. The applicant is working with the owner to the west to be able to try to secure an access to Alii Drive. On the right side of the map we show the proposed Kahaluu to Keauhou Parkway. These are the floor plans. The applicant is proposing to do one-story models as well as two- story models. We have an elevation on the lower portion of the map that shows what the one-story and two-story units may look like from the side view as well as the floor plans. EXHIBIT B 2
